4If your vehicle is equipped with a
sunroof, you can slide or tilt your
sunroof with the sunroof control lever
located on the overhead console (1).
The sunroof can only be opened,
closed, or tilted when the ignition
switch is in the ON position.
✽ ✽
NOTICE• In cold and wet climates, the sun-
roof may not work properly due to
freezing conditions.
• After a vehicle is washed or in a rainstorm be sure to wipe off any
water that is on the sunroof before
operating it.
✽ ✽ NOTICEThe sunroof cannot tilt when it is in
the slide position but can be slid
while in a tilt position.
PANORAMIC SUNROOF (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION
Do not continue to pull or push
the sunroof control lever afterthe sunroof is fully opened,closed, or tilted. Damage to themotor or system componentscould occur.
WARNING
Never adjust the sunroof or roller blind while driving. This
could result in loss of control
and an accident that may
cause death, serious injury, or
property damage.
If you would like to carry items on the roof rack using a cross
bar, do not operate the sunroof.
When carrying cargo on the roof rack, do not load heavy
items above the sunroof or
glass roof.
All occupants of the vehicle must wear their seat belts at
all times. Seat belts and child
restraints reduce serious or
fatal injuries for all occupants
in the event of a collision or
sudden stop.

4(Continued)
Always drive slowly and turn
corners carefully when carry-
ing items on the roof rack.
Severe wind updrafts, caused
by passing vehicles or natural
causes, can cause sudden
upward pressure on items
loaded on the roof rack. This
is especially true when carry-
ing large, flat items such as
wood panels or mattresses.
This could cause the items to
fall off the roof rack and cause
damage to your vehicle or
others around you.
To prevent damage or loss of cargo while driving, check fre-
quently before or while driv-
ing to make sure the items on
the roof rack are securely fas-
tened.

Satellite Radio reception factors:
To receive the satellite signal, your
vehicle has been equipped with a
satellite radio antenna located on the
roof of your vehicle. The vehicle roof
provides the best location for an
unobstructed, open view of the sky, a
requirement of a satellite radio sys-
tem. Like AM/FM, there are several
factors that can affect satellite radio
reception performance:
Antenna obstructions: For optimalreception performance, keep the
antenna clear of snow and ice
build-up and keep luggage and
other material as far away from the
antenna as possible.
Terrain: Hills, mountains, tall build- ings, bridges, tunnels, freeway over- passes, parking garages, dense
tree foliage and thunderstorms can
interfere with your reception.
SIRIUS Satellite Radio service:
SIRIUS Satellite Radio is a subscrip-
tion-based satellite radio service that
broadcasts music, sports, news and
entertainment programming to radio
receivers, which are available for instal-
lation in motor vehicles or factory
installed, as well as for the home,
portable and wireless devices, and
through an Internet connection on per-
sonal computer.
Vehicles that are equipped with a
factory installed SIRIUS Satellite
Radio system include:
Hardware and an introductory trial subscription term, which begins on
the date of sale or lease of the
vehicle.
For a small upgrade fee, access to SIRIUS music channels, and other
select channels over the Internet
using any computer connected to
the Internet (U.S. customers only).

Reducing the risk of a rolloverThis multi-purpose passenger vehi-
cle is defined as a Sports Utility
Vehicle (SUV). A SUV has higher
ground clearance and a narrower
track to make it more capable of per-
forming in a wide variety of off-road
applications. Specific design charac-
teristics give them a higher center of
gravity than ordinary vehicles. An
advantage of the higher ground
clearance is a better view of the
road, which allows you to anticipate
problems. A SUV is not designed for
cornering at the same speeds as
conventional passenger vehicles,
any more than low profile sports cars
are designed to perform satisfactori-
ly in off-road conditions. Due to this
risk, driver and passengers are
strongly recommended to buckle
their seat belts. In a rollover crash,
an unbelted person is more likely to
die than a person wearing a seat
belt. There are steps that a driver can
take to reduce the risk of a rollover.
Avoid sharp turns, excessive speed,
and or abrupt maneuvers, do not
load your roof rack with heavy cargo,
and never modify your vehicle in any
way.
CAUTION
- Mud or snow
If one of the front or rear wheels
begins to spin in mud, snow,etc. the vehicle can sometimesbe driven out by depressing theaccelerator pedal further; how-ever avoid running the enginecontinuously at high rpmbecause doing so could dam-age the AWD system.
WARNING
- Jacked vehicle
While the full-time AWD vehicle
is being raised on a jack, never
start the engine or cause the
tires to rotate.
There is the danger that rotating
tires touching the ground could
cause the vehicle to go off the
jack and to jump forward.
WARNING
- Rollover
As with other Sports Utility
Vehicle (SUV), failure to operate
this vehicle correctly may result
in loss of control, an accident or
vehicle rollover.
Utility vehicles have a signifi-
cantly higher rollover rate
than other types of vehicles.
Specific design characteris- tics (higher ground clearance,
narrower track, etc.) give this
vehicle a higher center of
gravity than ordinary vehicles.
A SUV is not designed for cor- nering at the same speeds as
conventional vehicles.
Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers.
In a rollover crash, an unbelt- ed person is significantly
more likely to die than a per-
son wearing a seat belt. Make
sure everyone in the vehicle is
properly buckled up.

Driving your vehicle
Hazardous driving conditions When hazardous driving conditions
are encountered such as water,
snow, ice, mud, sand, or similar haz-
ards, follow these suggestions:
Drive cautiously and allow extradistance for braking.
Avoid sudden braking or steering.
When braking with non-ABS brakes pump the brake pedal with
a light up-and-down motion until
the vehicle is stopped. If stalled in snow, mud, or sand,
use second gear. Accelerate slow-
ly to avoid spinning the drive
wheels.
Use sand, rock salt, or other non- slip material under the drive
wheels to provide traction when
stalled in ice, snow, or mud.

this risk, driver and passengers are
strongly recommended to buckle
their seat belts. In a rollover crash,
an unbelted person is more likely to

If at all possible, avoid sharp turns or

roof rack with heavy cargo, and
never modify your vehicle in any way.
SPECIAL DRIVING CONDITIONS
WARNING
- ABS
Do not pump the brake pedal on
a vehicle equipped with ABS.
WARNING
- Downshifting
Downshifting with an automatic
transaxle, while driving on slip-
pery surfaces can cause an
accident. The sudden change in
tire speed could cause the tires
to skid. Be careful when down-
shifting on slippery surfaces.
